A

corticosteroids (glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, gonadocorticoids)

17
Q

The medulla (inner) of the adrenal gland makes ____

A

epinephrine; adrenaline

18
Q

Cortex layers in order:

A
  1. zona glomerulosa (mineralocorticoid)
  2. zona fasciculata (glucocorticoid)
  3. zona reticularis (gonadocorticoid)
19
Q

What do alpha cells make?

A

glucagon- stimulates breakdown of glycogen and release glucose from liver (raises blood sugar)

20
Q

What do beta cells make?

A

insulin- stimulates uptake of glucose into cells (lowers blood sugar)

21
Q

What do delta cells make?

A

somatostatin- slows insulin and glucagon release by alpha/beta cells

22
Q

What do F cells make?

A

pancreatic polypeptide- inhibits somatostatin release by delta cells

23
